That is definitely non-standard.

The ADA does not require employers to provide health insurance, nor does it mandate specific coverage levels for disabled employees. However, under Title I, employers who offer health insurance cannot discriminate against employees on the basis of disability in the terms or benefits of that coverage. Enforcement of these workplace protections falls under the EEOC. For disabled individuals navigating coverage options, traditional Medicare (Parts A and B) combined with Part D prescription coverage generally offers stronger protections and more predictable benefits than either private insurance or Medicare Advantage (Part C). While the ADA prohibits employers from terminating an employee solely because of a disability, it does not guarantee unconditional job security. Employees must still be able to perform the essential functions of their role, with or without reasonable accommodation.

I doubt the EU will approve it.

No doubt. I'm already talking to my AG.

The Justice Department has signed off on the $110 billion Paramount Skydance acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, concluding after an eight-month investigation that the deal is "not likely to result in harm to competition or American consumers." This is really difficult to take that at face value. This merges two of Hollywood's oldest studios, combining CBS, Paramount+, HBO Max, CNN, and a suite of cable channels under one roof controlled by David Ellison, son of Oracle's Larry Ellison and a Trump ally. Over 1,000 entertainment professionals sent an open letter calling this out as further concentrating an already concentrated market. The DOJ reviewed two million documents and heard from extensive third parties. That doesn't scream confidence in the outcome. It screams "we covered ourselves." We must also consider recent actions of Bari Weiss. Ellison installed her as CBS News editor-in-chief, and one of her first major moves was firing multiple "60 Minutes" correspondents at the end of the most recent season. Think about that timing: Weiss purges veteran CBS News talent while the acquisition is still pending DOJ clearance. Whether that was editorial housecleaning, ideological realignment, or a signal to Ellison's allies in Washington is a fair question nobody at DOJ apparently felt like asking. That's the part the "not harmful to competition" framing conveniently sidesteps. Competition in distribution is one thing. What happens to editorial independence when a Trump-aligned owner's hand-picked editor starts cutting staff at a 60-year-old news institution before the ink is even dry is another question entirely. State AGs in California and New York are still investigating. Senator Warren is calling it "terrible news for every American." The EU is reviewing the deal separately over its backing by three Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds: Saudi Arabia's PIF, Abu Dhabi's L'IMAD, and Qatar's QIA. This is not settled.

At that point, I don't think anyone is taking a CBS presidential debate tender seriously.

I don't think this is the same person: https://thevoiceovervoice.co.uk/female-voice-over-samples/

Not that this is specifically germane to this subject, but I expect The Weather Channel to be sold too. Allen has not invested in a pivot strategy for them. Hyper-targeting would keep the platform viable.

Failing station waiver to keep them? Idk.

And that comes with a pay cut.

Honestly, with all of the new-to-air content these days, who is watching syndicated reruns?

Was this package built in-house?

Maybe I'm not seeing this, but how are these package L3s any different from the Troika package?

Would this be a nail in the coffin for the 10/11PM newscast entirely?
